Ten Basic Principles

1.The Vedas are self revealed truths.
2.They declare that Hari is the Absolute Person of the Godhead and is one without a second;
3.He is endowed with all the potencies in the fullest degree;
4.He is the ocean of all rasas (the principle that is palatable to the pure soul) ;
5.The jévas are His discrete parts ;
6.Some of them are enthralled by His deluding potency or Maya ;
7.Some are free beings or liberated souls eternally rendering loving service to Him under the guidance of His internal exhilarating energy ;
8.Both the jévas and the phenomenal are His manifestations simultaneously distinct and non-distinct from Him;
9.Pure devotion is the means of attaining the highest end of spiritual existence.
10.Krishna-Prema or Divine Love for Krishna is the summum bonum of human existence.
